1 Application filed June 16,

Improvements in Plows, of which the following is a specification.

The object of my invention is .to provide an improved plow, the parts ofwhich are so conproved plow. Fig.

structed and arranged that the plow will be held steady in all thedifferent kinds of soil and under different conditions in which it isbeing operated and in which different-sized shares may be usedthroughout a wide range of sizes, provision being made for adjusting theinclination of the share whenever necessar For a full description of theinvention and the merits thereof and also to acquire a knowledge of thedetails of construction of the means for effecting the result referenceis to be had to the following description and accompanying drawings, inwhich- Figure 1 is a perspective view of my im- 2 is a horizontalsectional view on the line 00 0c of Fig. 1. Fig. 3 is a detail viewillustrating the parts detached.

Corresponding and like parts are referred to in the followingdescription and indicated in all the views of the drawings by the samereference characters.

Referring to the drawings, the numeral 1 designates the beam of theplow, 2 the handles thereof secured to the beam at their ends and alsobybraces 3, and 4 designates a clevis. The beam 1 is provided with alower reduced end 5, producing downwardly-facing shoulders 6, andhorizontally-extending supporting-bars 7 are secured, as by bolts, tothe lower reduced end of the beam on op osite sides thereof, the u eredges of sai supporting-bars preferab y abutting against the shoulders6, whereby to assist in holding the bars steady. The bars 7 project bothforwardly and ,rearwardly of the beam, as shown, and their forward ends8 are bent inwardly toward each other and constitute the pivotal supportfor the standard 9. The standard 9 comprises two s aced-apart andparallel members, preferab y integral with each other and connectedtogether at their lower forward ends 11, such ends extending downwardlyand forwardly, as shown. The members 10 of the standards embrace theforward end 8 of the supporting-bars 7, and a Specification of LettersPatent.

1 pivot-bolt 12 extends through the members 10 of the standard andthrough the ends 8 of the bars 7 preferably at that point on thestandard where the downwardly and forwardly extending lower endsjoin'the intermediate verti'cally-extending portions thereof. The upperend of the standard extends rearwardly and in a substantially horizontalplane, as indicated at 13, the two members 10 embracing ing members.

14 designates clamping bolts passed through the rearwardly extendingupper ends 13 of the standard members so as to bind the same against theopposite sides of the beam and thereby hold the standard at differentinclinations by frictional engagement.

.As illustrated in the drawings, the rearwardly-extending upper ends 13of the standard members are provided with a lurality of apertures forthe rear clampingolt 14. By this means the standard may be held rigidlyafter being adjusted to the desired inclination by means of the twoclamping-bolts 14 and the arrangement or provision of said plurality ofapertures, because it is evident that the principal strain upon the isbeing operated, and therefore the rearmost bolt 14 may be caused toengage the rear edge of the beam 1 and hold the standard secure, asagainst a downward rocking mo tion, while the clamping action of both ofsaid bolts bind the members of the standard against the sides of thebeam and serve to prevent, to a large measure, movement in the oppositedirection.

Between the rearwardly-extending ends of the su porting-bars 7 ispreferably secured an L-s aped or an ular guide-shoe 15, which is heldby frictiona contact between the ends of the bars 7 by means ofclamping-bolts 16 or the like. By this means the shoe may be adjusted todifferent elevations and to dif ferent inclinations 17 designates ashare of the middle-buster type which is shown merely for the purpose ofillustration, as it is to be understood that -my invention does notreside primarily in 1 any form or construction or size of share, as myimproved plow may be used in an equally eflicient manner withdifferent-sized shares and in widely-differing conditions of soil. Thisresult is accomplished principally by the beam and constituting clamp--standard is in a downward direction while it means of the adjustablestandard 9, by which the inclination of the share may be changed in aconvenient manner whenever desired.

In the present instance the share is attached to the standard by meansof a bolt 18, secured thereto and assed downwardly through the openingormed by the forwardly and downwardly extending lower ends of thestandard members 10.

Having thus described the invention, what is claimed as new is A plowcomprising a beam and handles secured thereto, horizontally-extendingsupporting-bars 7 secured to the lower end of said beam and embracingthe same and projecting both forwardly and rearwardly thereof, theforward ends of said supporting-bars extending inwardly toward and incontact with each other, a shoe secured between the rearwardly-extendingends of said supporting-bars, and a standard comprising two parallelmembers integrally connected at their lower ends and extending forwardlyat their lower ends and rearwardly at their upper ends, said upper endsembracing the plowand the last-named bolt may be caused to engage therear edge of the beam, for the purpose specified, and a share-attachingbolt assing through the opening between the ower end of the standardmembers and adapted to bind a share thereto, as and for the purpose setforth.

In testimony whereof I aliix my signature in presence of two witnesses.
